Method

13 steps · 45 min

01
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
02
Cook Broccoflower
Put your broccoflower in a pot with enough water to cover it and cook for 5 minutes.
03
Prepare Filling Base
Drain the broccoflower and set it aside to cool. In a large bowl, combine the chopped bacon, green onions, and shredded cheese. Mix everything well.
04
Make Egg Custard
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, flour, mayo, and milk until smooth. If your mayo tends to clump when it hits cold milk, an immersion blender makes quick work of it, ensuring a smooth, uniform custard base.
05
Layer Phyllo Crust
Unroll your phyllo dough and keep it covered with a damp paper towel to prevent drying. Grease an 8-inch springform pan with cooking spray or melted butter.
Uncover the dough, remove two sheets of phyllo (recovering the rest with the damp towel), and lay them into the springform pan. Use a pastry brush to coat the phyllo with butter, ensuring it adheres to the sides of the pan. Rotate the pan slightly and repeat with two more layers and butter. Continue rotating, layering, and buttering until you have a thick phyllo 'nest', using roughly three-quarters of the roll (about 14-16 sheets).
06
Combine Filling
Once the broccoflower has cooled, roughly chop it and mix it into the bacon and cheese mixture.
07
Assemble Pie
Spoon the broccoflower, bacon, and cheese mixture into your phyllo nest and gently pat it down. Give your egg mixture another quick whisk (the pepper and flour can settle) and pour it evenly over the broccoflower mixture.
08
Add Top Phyllo Layers
Take your remaining phyllo sheets and layer them on top of the filling, two layers at a time, coating each pair with butter in between.
09
Create Crust Edge
Roll the overhanging phyllo edges inwards to create a defined crust around the rim of the pie.
10
Butter Top
Brush the top phyllo layer with butter.
11
Bake Pie
Bake in the 350 degree oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes. If the phyllo starts to brown too quickly after about an hour, you may need to loosely cover the pie with foil to prevent overbrowning.
12
Rest Before Serving
Let the pie sit for 15 minutes before cutting to allow the filling to set and prevent it from oozing out.
13
Slice Pie
To slice, use a serrated knife and gently saw through the delicate top layers of phyllo. Once you reach the thicker phyllo at the bottom, you can apply a bit more pressure.
